Guitarist/songwriter/singer seeking other musicians

Austin TX

Description

I am an experienced guitarist, songwriter and singer seeking other musicians and writers in and around Austin to write, play live and record with. My goal is to get a band together, play shows and then record an album in a nice studio in Texas, of which there are many! The ideal group I have in mind would be a 5 piece with two guitars, keyboards, drums and bass. Could also be a 4 piece with just me on guitar too, but would like to have keys in there. I know someone who can probably fill that role, but am open to meeting anyone who is talented and I definitely need a good rhythm section. Some of the bands I'm influenced by, in no particular order: Black Crowes, Sam Roberts Band, Wilco, Dead Meadow, Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, The Old 97's, Jonathan Wilson, Sunstack Jones, Dexateens, Stephen Malkmus, also soul/jazz like Les McCann, Phillip Upchurch, Jimmy Smith, Garcia/Hunter, and funk like The Meters, James Brown etc Here is an example of something I wrote and recorded at home that is complete except for lyrics and melody. Music and chord progressions come very easily to me and lyrics as well for many songs, but this one has been challenging for some reason. I really would like to complete it as I like the recording: https://soundcloud.com/shawn-creighton/new-song If any of the above resonates with you I would love to hear from you. Thanks!
